Learning that someone had upset his wife, Shen Yi was furious. He secretly contacted Old Qi and had him investigate the affairs of Yu Qing’s in-laws. To his surprise, the investigation uncovered that Yu Chenghe was having an affair with a widow. Shen Yi immediately gave Old Qi a sum of money and instructed him to expose the matter.
Half a month later, a weeping Yu Qing returned to Hongqi Village. She had caught her husband in bed with a widow. Furious, Yu Qing had started a physical fight with the woman, but in the scuffle, she was pushed to the ground and suffered a miscarriage right there. The scene had drawn a large crowd of onlookers. It wasn't until Yu Qing began bleeding uncontrollably that someone finally took her to the hospital, but it was too late—the baby was lost. Yu Chenghe and the widow were arrested and sent to a remote farm for labor reform.
With her child gone and her husband ruined, Yu Qing could no longer stay with her in-laws, so she returned home in tears. Mother Yu held her daughter and wept, mourning her daughter's bitter fate—every man she encountered turned out to be a poor choice. Yu Qing didn't dare leave the house, fearing the villagers' gossip, and eventually moved in with her eldest brother, Yu Yang. Yu Yang had bought a large house with extra rooms, so once Yu Qing moved to the county seat, she never returned to the village.
